Posted July 22, 20159 yr Hi all, This is a modified version of the model made by Droomangroup, who I would like to thank for sharing the LDD file that inspired me. I have attached the LDD file for this model. Jeep1 by Colin Moore, on Flickr I have used the wheel hubs that feature the cross-axle hole. This is the same fitting as the spare so they can now be interchanged. I had to simplify the dashboard to incorporate a new surprise feature (see below) which unfortunately meant removing the gauges and grab bar. I used black slope bricks to create the footwells. I have redesigned the roll bars for better fitting, simplified the spare wheel mount, raised the rear bumper and moved the licence plate holder. Jeep2 by Colin Moore, on Flickr I have remodelled the rear to increase carrying capacity and added a couple of extra items to add playability. Included is a jerry can, a box, a toolbox and a spanner. Jeep3 by Colin Moore, on Flickr Jeep4 by Colin Moore, on Flickr And the surprise feature is a working bonnet! Jeep5 by Colin Moore, on Flickr The chassis has been cleaned up and the bearing plates changed to accommodate the cross-axle wheel hubs. Jeep6 by Colin Moore, on Flickr I have reworked the model completely to ensure maximum efficiency i.e. minimum brick count. This model comes in at only 166 bricks! I have the bricks on order and I will post photos when it's built. Enjoy! CJ5 Jeep.lxf Edited July 28, 20159 yr by colmoore
July 22, 20159 yr Love the roll bars and the drive shaft detail. Look forward to seeing it in the bricks.
July 22, 20159 yr not too shabby, i'm not sure i'd give up the speedo and grab bar personally, but still, i like it. i recently did a CJ8 version of this build as well (you can see in the back i've also revised my YJ design)... Edited July 22, 20159 yr by droomangroup
July 23, 20159 yr Author Yes it was a tough call to sacrifice those features but maybe I'll work on it and try to incorporate both. Love the CJ8 Edited July 23, 20159 yr by colmoore
